Quarter: Winter 2017
Grade: P
March 23, 2017

The class is all about diet and exercise! It's fairly easy, and even if you do poorly on the midterm and final you should still be able to pass with AT LEAST with a C. That's if you really just did not get the midterm and final. There are a lot of easy points to get, and the TAs grade very easily. The TAs are really there to help you out the most. I did very poorly on the only midterm (I believe it had roughly 100 questions) and the final was not easy for me either (44 questions). However, the professor is really sweet and everyone there is just there to help you out because they know it's just a GE, so don't be afraid to ask questions for any clarifications! Tips: Do the workbook, it does take awhile to find them in the book and you should do it the week you do the chapter in lecture, but it is possible to pull an allnighter the night before it's due (I didn't do that but it is possible!). The project also takes awhile, but he gives you a guideline on how to do it so just follow that and honestly you'll be fine. You can do a rotation for signing in people for lecture because it is required, and just make sure to go to section and try on the quizzes. The TA gives full credit if you're pretty much close and try on them, and it's open notebook and he gives you all the answers before. Good luck!

Quarter: Spring 2016
Grade: A
June 18, 2016

I have heard so many good things about this class, some saying it is the "best and easiest GE you'll ever take." I think this class is extremely overrated.

"Easy A" is not the words to describe this class. If you put a lot of effort into this class and really do the work, then yes, this class is manageable. But don't think about taking this course as an easy A that will require minimal work. You won't do well.

He takes participation, has a workbook, project, discussion labs, two lecture quizzes, and three lab quizzes. And there are two exams.

The workbook and project are not hard, just time consuming. The discussion labs are easy, but the discussion quizzes are more difficult than you think. But he ended up giving everyone full points for everything related to discussion section, as long as you attended. These aren't the things that make the course difficult.

The exams are annoying. Literally every word in the course reader is considered "fair game" on the exam, and he'll put some of the most obscure questions that you either know or you don't. They'll be one small random fact from the entire chapter. You simply have to know everything. It is really annoying, and there is no way to really guess or just figure it out when you get to the test, because it is very very specific. You either know it or you don't. During lecture, he just spits out information, and you're expected to know it.

I got an A because I memorized everything like crazy in a short amount of time. If you read and MEMORIZE the chapters as you go through the quarter as he assigns it, you'll be fine. But don't do what I did. Its about 15-20 pages a week, which isn't too bad.

The class is not "easy." If you put in the work, its easy, but don't expect to be able to skim through the material, zone out through lecture, but still pull out an A no problem. You literally have to memorize all the information he gives you, and it's not as easy as it seems.
